Session 2: The importance of the Digital Single Market for the success of IoT - Key policy considerations for the current and future IoT

One of the purposes of the recently unveiled Digital Single Market strategy
was to help create an environment for the successful development and roll-out of IoT in Europe. However, it is argued that there are a number of existing and potential barriers that may restrict the adoption of IoT as part of the DSM. As a result, the Commission is now considering whether specific legislation is needed to address the growth of the IoT, or whether it is sufficient for these to be managed within the existing frameworks. This session will explore how the DSM will help achieve IoT innovation and roll-out in Europe, whilst looking at the support that the DSM itself needs from stakeholders in order to fully succeed. Participants will examine whether or not new legislation is needed to tackle the growth of IoT, as well as giving close examination to the work of new initiatives, such as the AIOTI and the new Large-Scale Pilots.

- How will the Digital Single Market help to achieve IoT innovation and roll-out in Europe and strengthen European IoT players?
- To what extent will initiatives such as AIOTI boost IoT in Europe and achieve maximum value creation for businesses?
- What existing or potential market barriers prevent the take-up of IoT in the context of the DSM?
- What support does the DSM need from stakeholders to fully succeed?
- Is new legislation needed to address the challenges presented by the growth of the Internet of Things, or can the issues be managed within the existing legal and regulatory framework?
- What lessons can Europe learn from other regions when exploring whether new legislation, on issues such as free flow of data and data protection, is needed?
- What EU initiatives are helping to strike the right balance between data-driven innovation and guaranteeing privacy?
- How can policymakers provide economic incentives to those investing in IoT in Europe?
- How can the Large-Scale Pilots help stimulate take up of IoT?
- What can we expect from the upcoming European Commission communication on the IoT in Summer 2016?

Session 3: Promoting data innovation whilst guaranteeing privacy

It is argued that the true success of the Internet of Things rests mainly upon the free flow of data, and that the value of data sharing and data-driven innovation is becoming more and more important for Europe. Now that the General Data Protection Regulation has been agreed, this session will bring together key stakeholders to discuss what this means for IoT businesses. Participants will also discuss what needs to be done in order to find the correct balance between data innovation and safeguarding privacy. Finally, this session will highlight the UK’s Investigatory Powers Act and explore the level of impact that this is likely to have on IoT in Europe.

- Now the General Data Protection Regulation has been agreed, what does this mean for IoT businesses?
- What challenges does sharing data pose, including people’s understanding of trust, and the ownership and collection of such data?
- What needs to be done in order to find the right balance between companies using personal data so that it adds value to the consumer while at the same time safeguarding privacy?
- How does the IoT community go about achieving societal benefits from sharing such data?
- Are people aware enough about the true value of their own data?
- Will the UK Investigatory Powers Act likely be a model for legislation elsewhere, and what impact will this have on IoT?

Session 5: IoT Connectivity

Connectivity remains at the heart of IoT. With more and more applications and
products now being connected to the Internet, there are a number of policy,
regulatory and technology challenges that need to be addressed. This session
will look at the current situation of connectivity for IoT, and will examine the
work that is being done by spectrum management policymakers and regulators
in order to help manage the needs for this industry. We will also hear from a
variety of industry stakeholders about their different technology solutions that
are helping to deal with the ‘spectrum crunch’. In addition, participants will
assess the impact of the recent decisions from WRC-15 and what this means for
different industries. Finally, speakers will explore what work needs to be done in
the next few years before the rollout of 5G.

- What technology solutions can help tackle the spectrum squeeze?
- What value does the harmonisation of spectrum allocation have on economies of scale?
- How will 5G become an enabler for the Internet of Things? To what extent will its flexibility add value? Why is 5G so appealing for IoT?
- What work now needs to be done prior to WRC-19 to ensure that the correct decisions are made on spectrum assignment for 5G, and to ensure a smooth deployment in 2020?
- How will the decisions from the recent WRC-15 meeting in Geneva impact the future Internet of Things?
What role can the satellite industry play?

Session 6: Security - Learning from recent times and keeping the hackers from the headlines

Security incidents across the IoT landscape continue to grow. As a result, policymakers and companies are trying extremely hard to identify the best actions to make products and services more secure. This session will explore the best options to be considered in different security scenarios. Participants will also identify the extent that existing security solutions can be adapted and effectively used for IoT, as well as the cost of these and the competitive advantages they offer. Finally, participants will also consider the role that IoT technology itself plays in helping to tackle security issues such as national security and public safety.

- What measures must manufacturers take in order to make device and product security bulletproof?
- Are current security solutions and controls ever going to be enough? How do they need to be adapted and reengineered?
- Should security be built from the bottom up?
- Who is going to be responsible for IoT security updates, and can we make sure that this is done reliably?
- Is hacking inevitable and should we concentrate more on minimizing its impact?
- What lessons can we learn from other areas, such as banking and insurance in cases of fraud and losses?
- How can IoT technologies help in the fight against national security challenges and threats to public safety?
